"But I don't want to be your uncle anymore."
Ji Sinan looked into Xie Lingyi's eyes and said seriously.
He didn't know when he started liking her. He thought he could bury these feelings in his heart, watching her marry and have children like a proper elder. It was only yesterday that he realized he couldn't do it. He even thanked the scumbag who hurt her. If it weren't for her drunken words yesterday, he wouldn't have had the courage to face his feelings.
"Uncle, I was wrong. Please don't be angry, okay? I won't drink again, and I won't say things that offend you. I need you to always be my uncle."
Xie Lingyi looked into Ji Sinan's eyes and realized he was serious, and she became scared.
She wasn't liked by her parents in the Xie Family. The only one who treated her gently was the uncle. If he abandoned her too, she'd feel utterly abandoned by the world.
"I don't have to be your uncle. I can be something else to you, always by your side."
